Default How do you deal with different parenting styles? - 01-08-2009, 09:27 PM

How do you and your spouse deal with different parenting styles when raising your children?? Do you ever get in arguments about how the other should parent?

There are always different styles. And you get to argue about it. But, in the end, if you don't agree on the goals and rules, you're just jerking the kid around. Ask your mother.

Yes, but never in front of the children. We sit and negotiate, and never undermine each other. We agreed that when we disagree, it will be away from the kids and if one of us ends up revising punishment, both will explain it to the kids, and the reasons why.No matter what you decide, if you decide to stick together and be consistent, you can make it work. The worst thing you can do to your kids is be inconsistent or let them play one parent against the other.Make a pact to consult each other on important decisions, and to NEVER let inlaws interfere.

You have to come to an agreement on how things should be done. You may not be completely happy with every choice he makes and he may not be happy with yours but you are in this together so you have to figure it out.

Well we disagree a lot. He's more strict than I am. What it comes down to is who is with the children more, at least for us. Since I am a stay at home mother, my parenting style is the dominant one. If he wants to be strict when he's taking care of them, that's fine.
